The Asamankese Government Hospital witnessed a significant milestone with the commissioning of a state-of-the-art X-ray machine, a generous donation from Latter-Day Saints Charities, facilitated by the Me Boafo Foundation. This monumental event brought together municipal leaders, healthcare professionals, opinion leaders, and esteemed dignitaries, reflecting the community’s collective commitment to enhancing healthcare services in the region.

The Municipal Director of Health, Dr. Boateng, emphasized the machine’s transformative potential in combating tuberculosis (TB) and improving diagnostic efficiency. “This X-ray machine is not just an addition to our equipment; it is a critical tool in our fight against TB and other respiratory illnesses. It will significantly enhance our capacity to diagnose and treat patients accurately and promptly,” he remarked.

In his keynote address, Dr. Emmanuel Obiri Addo, the Executive Director of the Me Boafo Foundation, highlighted the collaborative efforts that brought this project to fruition. “This X-ray machine is more than just a piece of equipment; it represents hope, compassion, and a commitment to bettering lives. It is a promise to our mothers, fathers, and children that they will receive the care they deserve right here in our community,” he stated.



Dr. Addo also recognized the exceptional efforts of Dr. Maxwell Okpoti Mensah, a distinguished Director of the Me Boafo Foundation, for his instrumental role in spearheading the initiative. His leadership and dedication were pivotal in bridging the gap between the hospital’s needs and the resources required to address them.



The ceremony celebrated the spirit of unity and collaboration. Healthcare workers were encouraged to utilize the X-ray machine to its fullest potential, ensuring it becomes a beacon of improved healthcare services. “This gift is a testament to the hard work of our healthcare workers and a reminder that the community stands beside them,” Dr. Addo noted.
